Tasting: Young
red wine with a marked Atlantic character, fresh and fruity. It presents a
lively cherry color, limpid, with violet tones. The nose is very fruity, with
aromas reminiscent of red fruits, but also the Atlantic forest; light balsamic
touches, reminiscent of laurel and heather. In the mouth you can appreciate all
the freshness of the fruit of the forest with slight spicy notes and minerals,
which denote its origin from the slate and granite slopes of the river Miño in
Santa Maria de Nogueira (Lugo, Galicia). Its perfectly integrated acidity is
striking. Fusco is a wine with a good retronasal, very lively and light, but
full-bodied. A wine that invites to be drunk again and again. € 10

Pairing: A
wine that for its body, liveliness and freshness, is worthy of a wide variety
of dishes. These vary from red meats, to salads with goat cheese and nuts,
fresh cheeses, grilled vegetables, but also valid for pasta and a wide range of
blue fish ... tuna, horse mackerel, sardine, etc.

Here they come some recommendations, none of which exceeds 10 euros.
